SUBMITTED BY ROLANDA KAISER PHOTOS BY MIKE ROLLERSON Circus Vargas embarks on a brand new epic adventure under
the big top! The biggest American, animal-free traveling big top circus is making a splash across California and will be entertaining San Francisco Bay Area residents through September 18 with its latest hit production, “SteamCirque”!
Goggles, gears, and gadgets set the stage for Circus Vargas’ 2017’s retro-futuristic SteamCirque. Join them on a journey of fantastic proportions where children of all ages will marvel at the wacky and wonderful cast of characters that come alive in this exciting steampunk, science-fiction fantasy inspired circus odyssey. An eccentric group of adventure seekers stumble upon a traveling circus in an imaginary Victorian city, far, far away. SteamCirque’s peculiar protagonist, part magician-part inventor,
attempts to industrialize the circus by incorporating his steam powered mechanical contraptions into the ordinary, typical circus rigging, filling the big top with new, imaginative acrobatic apparatus for the artists to perform their acts. It becomes a test of wills – the steampunkers versus the circus folk; who will win? Audiences will have to come and see to find out! Husband and wife team Nelson and Katya Quiroga’s inspiration for this year’s production came to them over a casual dinner with friends.
While reminiscing of traveling, their many adventures and how fast time has passed, Nelson remarked suddenly that he’d felt as if he’d been “Around the World in 80 days!” referring to a novel from French author Jules Verne’s collection, “Voyages Extraordinaire.” That comment and the subsequent conversation that followed morphed into hours of storytelling. “It’s been quite the journey,” says Katya. “Sometimes we don’t even believe it ourselves.” continued on page 12

Washington Hospital Tailors Educational Programs to Meet Community Health Needs
F
ree Health & Wellness seminars, specific health screenings, community services and special health-related events are all part of the services Washington Hospital provides for the residents of Fremont, Newark, Union City, unincorporated Sunol and a small portion of Hayward. The question of how and why Washington Hospital selects and prioritizes the programs it provides has an answer that is both simple and complex—the Hospital determines the specific health needs of the community and addresses those needs through these services. The Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) is a rigorous process that includes community surveys, health reports, expert input and data analysis. Washington Hospital conducts a CHNA every three years.
“The Affordable Care Act (ACA), enacted by Congress in 2010, requires all nonprofit hospitals nationwide to conduct an assessment within their service areas to identify populations experiencing health disparities, particularly those related to chronic disease. We then identify factors contributing to chronic disease and opportunities for healthier living within these populations,” explained Lucy Hernandez, Washington Hospital’s community outreach project manager. “As a district hospital, we were exempt from the legislation requiring this prior to 2010,” Hernandez noted. “However,” she added, “Washington Hospital has been conducting community health needs assessment reports for more than 20 years as we have always believed it is important to understand the health needs of the community when determining programs and
Community Outreach Project Manager Lucy Hernandez explains how Washington Hospital develops community education programs and services.
services to offer to residents of the district.” Hernandez added that many of the programs now considered essential services — such as the Health Insurance Information Services, Community Mammography Screening, low-dose CT lung Cancer Screening Program and the new UCSF - Washington Hospital
Cancer Center — are just a few of the programs developed as a result of previous community health needs studies. Working with other Alameda County tax-exempt hospitals, Washington Hospital recently completed its 2016 Community Needs Assessment Study of residents, community leaders and health care professionals who live
in and serve the Washington Township Health Care District. Analytical data was collected and reviewed through various reports. Additionally, there were several community focus group interviews and confidential interviews with professional experts in areas such as aging and family services, emergency services, mental health, and women’s health. The study identified seven key community health needs for Washington Hospital’s service area: asthma, behavioral health, cancer, cardiovascular disease/stroke, maternal and child health, obesity/diabetes/healthy & active living, and violence and injury prevention. An action/implementation plan has been developed to address the health needs identified by the study, Hernandez said. Following is a brief overview of some specific new and expanded activities in each initiative area: Asthma: Fremont, Newark and Union City have higher proportions of adults, teens and children diagnosed with asthma than the county or the state. Initiatives include exploring ways to address childhood asthma, including partnering with UCSF for programs tailored toward pediatric asthma patients. continued on page 5

Affiliation with UCSF Provides Local Access to Specialized Expertise and Resources patient-centered, personalized care based on the patient’s individual needs.” Dr. Chyu’s colleagues at the PDC include:
Dr. Jacquelyn Chyu meets mom and baby at diagnostic appointment.
U
nder the direction of maternal-fetal medicine specialist Jacquelyn Chyu, MD, Washington Hospital Healthcare System and the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Health System have teamed up to provide full prenatal diagnostic services, including comprehensive counseling, screening and diagnostic testing for fetal disorders.
An expert in diagnosing and treating maternal and fetal illnesses, Dr. Chyu is also an obstetrician and a clinical professor at UCSF. In addition to her subspecialty, training in maternal-fetal medicine, she completed a second fellowship
in advanced fetal ultrasound and invasive procedures under the direction of John Hobbins, MD, who is considered the early pioneer of obstetric ultrasound in the United States. “Our objective is to help women and their babies receive the highest level of care available anywhere, with comprehensive preconception and prenatal counseling and state-of-the-art diagnostic screening and testing to evaluate the health and well-being of the mother and her unborn baby,” Dr. Chyu says. “Our staff includes a pediatric cardiologist, a geneticist, a genetic counselor, a sonographer and medical assistants. All of us work together as a team to provide
• Pediatric cardiologist Anita Moon Grady, MD, a world-renowned professor of Pediatric Cardiology and director of the Fetal Cardiovascular Program at USCF. She provides fetal echocardiography procedures and pediatric cardiology consultations. • Geneticist Mary Norton, MD, also a world-renowned professor and director of the UCSF Program in Genetic and Genomic Prenatal Medicine. She and her UCSF geneticist colleagues provide the underpinnings of the PDC’s genetics services to detect and optimize the management of inherited illnesses. • Genetic counselor Heather Fisher, LCGC. Fisher specializes in communicating a vast array of information about genetic conditions to PDC patients and guides them through the available genetic tests. Now on staff at UCSF, she
earned her degree from Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, where she also served as supervising genetic counselor. • Obstetrical sonographer Nicole Ortiz, RDMS. She is trained in fetal imaging and performs the technical portion of ultrasound exams. She brings a wealth of experience to the PDC from her work with perinatologists at UCSF East Bay. “We use high-end fetal ultrasound equipment to monitor the baby’s development,” Dr. Chyu explains. “Ultrasound also can help us check for birth defects or problems with the mother’s uterus or cervix.” Used in combination with various blood tests, ultrasound also can help detect genetic conditions such as Down syndrome and trisomy 18, also known as Edwards syndrome, which can disrupt the baby’s normal pattern of development in significant ways. Additional diagnostic tests for genetic disorders include chorionic villus sampling, which involves removing a tiny piece of tissue from the placenta under ultrasound guidance, and
amniocentesis, in which a needle is inserted into the abdomen under ultrasound guidance to remove a small amount of amniotic fluid from the uterus. “Our comprehensive genetic counseling can help patients decide whether they want further testing and, if so, which tests would be appropriate,” Dr. Chyu notes. “In a highly personalized approach, we evaluate the patient’s medical history, the family history – including both the father’s and the mother’s side – and sometimes the patient’s ethnicity in cases where there could be a risk for conditions such as sickle cell disease. We also provide consultations for high-risk patients with diabetes, high blood pressure or a history of previous premature birth or miscarriage. Some women may want preconception counseling to get pre-existing conditions under control before becoming pregnant. In collaboration with their regular physicians, we can even help them choose medications that are safe for their pregnancy.” continued on page 7

O’Donnell, who switched from chemical engineering to theatre when he was in college, says, “Everyone in theatre has a story about when they told their parents they were going to major in theatre, and the jaws drop. But it’s much easier to get a job on the tech side than it is as an actor.” O’Donnell has toured with many groups, including The Chick Corea Elektric Band, Herbie Hancock, Isaac Hayes, The Rippingtons, and Rickie Lee Jones. Although O’Donnell’s touring days are done, he still has many friends in the entertainment industry, often inviting them to give guest presentations for his students. Recent alumni also return to share their fresh experiences. Some have gone on to work for places like Disney and the San Francisco Opera, and for famous bands like
BY DAVID R. NEWMAN PHOTOS COURTESY OF MATT O’DONNELL The squeal of heavy metal guitar riffs rings out across the amphitheater as fog sprays upward from small black canisters. Multi-colored lights dance across the stage as actors stand defiantly, fists in the air. The audience is standing, cheering, shouting, some with lighters raised high, swaying in unison. It is closing night for “Rock of Ages,” a glam rock musical that is the final act of Summerfest 2017 at Ohlone College. Afterward, as people file out to their cars, many are still humming away, the songs still fresh in their minds. But the actors and musicians are merely part of the picture. Much of the magic, including lighting, rigging, sound, special effects,

When the audience leaves the theater, they will have not only seen and listened to the performers on the stage, but they will have also experienced the skilled hands and passions of the technology that makes it all work.” Every summer, students start from scratch, erecting a 32-foot high steel truss and scaffolding system or, as it is known in the industry, rigging, on the amphitheater stage. “When we first get here there’s nothing,” says O’Donnell. “We build it all from the ground up. Our students do everything.” Setting up the rigging is a critical part of any outdoor (or indoor) event, whether it’s a musical, concert, car show, corporate event, etc. Says O’Donnell, “Rigging is like engineering for entertainment.

sets, and costumes, is created and managed by people who work behind the scenes. At Ohlone, this is all taken care of by students in the Entertainment Design & Technology (EDT) Department. Says EDT Director Matt O’Donnell, “Our job as production artists is quite simply to tell a story. Through color, texture, light and shadow, designers, artisans, and technicians help sculpt the story with the director and actors. Once in performance, that story is placed into the hands of stage managers,
It has gotten quite serious. In the early days of Led Zeppelin, they would just use these big fat chains to connect lights to towers, but they had no idea what the stress levels were of the materials they were using. Now there’s a much more sophisticated way to decide what can be hung over people’s heads – they know what everything weighs and what the roof and beam structures need to be in order to support it.” Rigging is just one of many classes offered by the EDT program at Ohlone that prepares students for the entertainment
in the classroom using 3D software, and can fit onto a USB drive. All that is required is to plug it in. For their final exam, students in the lighting class create a threeminute light show on computer to a piece of music of their choice. Then they run their show in one of the studios at the Smith Center, in front of their peers. Says O’Donnell, “In the end, college is about teaching you how to think. There’s a lot of problem solving that we do. It’s a long process. We go from making drawings to building to installation to rehearsals to production. And what’s great and different about our department is that you work as a team. It’s completely collaborative. Everybody cares about the work that they do. We’re like a family, and to me that’s really exciting.”

industry. Plenty of hands-on experience is provided by working on five productions per year, including a fall production, winter dance production, Playwrights Festival (10 new short plays in one evening), spring dance production, and a Summerfest musical (like “Rock of Ages”). Other classes include film and video production, scenic painting, costume construction, theatrical makeup, studio recording, digital sound editing, stage management, moving lights, and a host of others. Students can obtain a Certificate of Achievement or a two-year Associate of Arts Degree in one of six specialized fields: Stagecraft, Costuming, Audio Technician, Live Event Management, Theatrical and TV Lighting Technician, and Moving Light Technician. Upon graduation, many students qualify for a transfer degree, which gives automatic entry into the California State University system. Some graduates opt to enter the workforce directly, another main goal of the program. In fact, many of the classes are vocational in nature, combining academics with technical and occupational knowledge.
U2 and Bruce Springsteen. And many people in the trade, especially union members, take classes as part of their safety training and professional development. O’Donnell loves technology, and utilizes the latest software and hardware in his classes. As an example, all lighting for “Rock of Ages” was run through an advanced light board called a GrandMA2, which wirelessly controls the lights and special effects. Shows are preprogrammed

Washington Hospital Tailors Educational Programs to Meet Community Health Needs Behavioral Health: The Hospital’s emergency department has experienced high usage by residents for mental illness-related issues. The study found that many in the community do not consider mental health issues an illness, a perception the Hospital would like to change. The Hospital will explore a possible collaboration with the Alameda County Health System to develop an outpatient mental health clinic in the Washington Hospital service area to provide much needed ongoing care for residents with various mental health issues. Cancer: Washington Hospital currently has extensive cancer awareness, education and treatment programs. The Hospital will continue to expand its existing comprehensive cancer program of diagnosis, treatment and survivorship through its affiliation with UCSF. Cardiovascular/Stroke: Washington Hospital has won national recognition for its heart and stroke prevention and treatment programs. It has been certified as a primary stroke center and designated as a cardiac and stroke receiving center for stroke patients in southern Alameda County. The survey showed a need for working with the various population groups in the Tri-City Area to improve diets, increase exercise opportunities and increase general heart/stroke education outreach. Maternal and Child Health: Washington Hospital currently offers a variety of programs focused on maternal and child health, a number of them in cooperation with UCSF. Initiatives may include children’s health and safety outreach, working with community clinics, and expanding education on a variety of maternal and children’s issues.
In collaboration with UCSF, the Prenatal Diagnostic Center is serving high-risk mothers. On October 28, the Hospital will host a Children’s Health and Safety Fair. Obesity/Diabetes, Healthy and Active Living: Washington Hospital has an aggressive and effective outreach and education program for each of these health areas. However, the study identified some underserved populations needing additional outreach. Initiatives may include increased collaboration with community partners, and redesigning the Diabetes Matters education program to add focus on culturally sensitive and ethnically relevant nutrition recommendations for diverse populations. Violence and Injury Prevention: Residents reported fear of being attacked while walking in certain areas, a lack of empathy by health care and law enforcement officials, and a lack of effective support for domestic violence victims. New and expanded strategies are being developed to address these issues. Hernandez understands the concerns local residents have in the face of health care changes. “Every day the news seems to include some proposed change to health care that will impact access,” she noted. “But we understand and address those concerns. As part of the district’s implementation plan, it will be imperative that we evaluate existing and new programs and services in the context of changes in federal health care legislation. Washington Hospital will continue its commitment to the health of our community members.” The entire CHNA report can be found on the Washington Hospital website: www.whhs.com/About/Community-connection/CommunityHealth-Needs-Assessment.
Youth Empowerment Academy grads created art, learned life skills SUBMITTED BY CITY OF FREMONT The Youth Empowerment Academy, wrapping up its fifth year, is offered through the City of Fremont’s Human Services Department, Youth and Family Services Division. It is designed to help “at risk” and Probation youth develop better decision making, health and life skills, while offering opportunities for summer employment, community service, and leadership development. This year, 10 young people from the Tri-Cities participated in the program, with an opportunity to earn both elective and work experience high school credits toward graduation. The program partners with local school districts, La Familia Counseling’s Youth Employment Program, Highway to Work Program, the Alameda County Center for Healthy Schools and Communities, Probation Department Officers, and other organizations in the community. During this year’s program, the youth had an opportunity to work with Union City’s Youth &
Family Services’ Art Therapist, Heather Curtis, to create an inspirational mural on a traffic signal control box located on Fremont Boulevard at Country Way in Fremont. The project was part of the City of Fremont’s boxArt! Program. The mural reflects Fremont’s olive growing history as it relates to the agricultural theme the boxArt! Program is focusing on this year. For the youth, the mission and olives evoked feelings of “finding peace” and having a greater connection with the community. The youth were extremely engaged in this project and demonstrated a high commitment to attend the Academy three days each week as well as La Familia Counseling’s Youth Employment Program. In addition to painting the mural on the traffic signal control box, the youth joined local seniors in a Tai Chi class and assisted in serving lunch at the Fremont Senior Center as community service. Congratulations to this year’s Youth Empowerment Academy graduates!

SUBMITTED BY BRUCE ROBERTS “If a picture paints a thousand words, then let a picture inspire a thousand words.” These few words, by Scottish author Nicholas Crutchley, could be the inspiring motif for “Arts and Letters,” a current exhibit of the Hayward Arts Council, where neither words nor art exist in isolation. Every entrant in the show was challenged to combine visual and verbal art. Visual artists show through the varied media of watercolors, textiles, wire sculpture, paper sculpture, ceramics, digital photos, pastels, and woodblock prints. But somewhere on each visual creation are words, maybe a single word, maybe an entire poem—in any language. Special “shouts outs” were given at the July 7, 2017 artists’ reception to the “Split Screens” of Ochoa Middle School 8th graders, students of Devon Gee and Annalisa Chamberlain-Engel,
“The Addams Family” opening October 6, and the 2018 season includes “Dial M For Murder,” “Little Women,” “Crimes of the Heart,” and “Don’t Dress For Dinner.” The Open House and Picnic is free — come and meet us! Reservations are not required, but appreciated. For more information, visit www.chanticleers.org or call (510) 733-5483. The check-in desk will be at the picnic area behind Chanticleers Theatre.

as well as Ms. Pryor’s Altered Book creators from Mt. Eden High School. In addition, Fremont artists Peter and Maureen Langenbach received special recognition for lifetime achievement—and for having entered the most pieces, all displaying beauty and/or clever imagination, in this show. As a juried show, awards were also given out at the reception. Honorable Mention went to Maritza Garcia for her black and white photo, “New Skinny”; Renea Turner for her colored photo, “Blue Boats”; Anthony Michael Diaz for his mixed-media piece, “Girls”; Michele Mirador for her 3-dimensional piece, “Empty”; and Christian Cruz for his book turned to paper sculpture, “Desert Bull.” Nick Calarco took second place, with his large rendering of Chinese calligraphy and poetry, “Excerpts from a Poem of the Song Dynasty.” The overall winner, Best in Show, went to Florence Benjumea, whose
beautifully done “The Storyteller” shows an all-knowing woman sitting amid images of knights and damsels and heroism, overlaid with artistically written French poetry. These winners, however, are just the tip of the iceberg. All in all, nearly 100 artists contributed to this show in the large, wonderful gallery at the Hayward Area Historical Society.

Woman finds long-lost engagement ring in carrot patch ASSOCIATED PRESS A Canadian woman who lost her engagement ring 13 years ago while weeding her garden on the family farm is wearing it proudly again after her daughter-in-law pulled it from the ground on a misshapen carrot. Mary Grams, 84, said she can’t believe the lucky carrot grew through and around the diamond ring she had long given up hope of finding. Grams said she never told her husband, Norman, that she lost the ring, but told her son. Her husband died five years ago. “I feel relieved and happy inside,’’ Grams said this week.
“It grew into the carrot. I still can’t figure it out.’’ Her daughter-in-law, Colleen Daley, found the ring while harvesting carrots for supper with her dog Billy at the farm near Armena, Alberta, where Grams used to live. The farm has been in the family for 105 years. Daley said while she was pulling the carrots and noticed one of them looked strange. She almost fed it to her dog but decided to keep it and just threw it in her pail. When she was washing the carrots, she noticed the ring and spoke to her husband, Grams’ son, about what she had found.
They quickly called Grams. “I said we found your ring in the garden. She couldn’t believe it,’’ Daley said. “It was so weird that the carrot grew perfectly through that ring.’’ Grams said she was eager to try the ring on again after so many years. With family looking on she washed the ring with a little soap to get the dirt off. It slid on her finger as easily as it did when her husband gave it to her. “We were giggling and laughing,’’ she said. “It fit. After that many years it fits.’’

Affiliation with UCSF Provides Local Access to Specialized Expertise and Resources Some fetal conditions can be corrected while the baby is still in the uterus, and the PDC’s affiliation with UCSF provides a significant advantage in that regard. “UCSF physicians have been pioneers in this type of in utero surgery for fetal conditions such as obstructed bladder, unclosed spinal cords and fluid-filled chests,” says Dr. Chyu. “Once a condition is identified, we have the proper resources available from UCSF. For example, if an echocardiogram detected a heart problem, we can arrange for the mother to deliver the baby at UCSF and then have a cardiologist or cardiovascular surgeon available for the baby shortly after delivery.”
Dr. Chyu notes that Washington Hospital’s level 2 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is affiliated with UCSF, too. “The vast majority of cases can be taken care of right here at Washington Hospital, but we don’t offer neonatal surgery within the first few hours or days of life,” she says. “The fact that we have a NICU made Washington Hospital ideally suited for having the PDC, since we can coordinate our efforts with the NICU. Washington Hospital also is bringing in more pediatric subspecialists for outpatient care.” Having the Washington Prenatal Diagnostic Center
located within the community offers many benefits for patients and their families, according to Dr. Chyu. “Pregnancy and childbirth are family experiences, and the support of the family is an important contribution to a successful pregnancy,” she says. “By bringing the expertise of all these prenatal diagnostic specialties to the community, we allow the patient to remain within her community for most advanced diagnostic procedures, consultations and treatments.” The Washington Prenatal Diagnostic Center is currently scheduling appointments. For more information, or to inquire about scheduling an appointment, call (510) 818-5110.
Filmmaker Moore plants the flag for good ideas in “Where to Invade Next” SUBMITTED BY NILES DISCOVERY CHURCH Filmmaker Michael Moore travels overseas seeking good ideas instead of conflict in “Where to Invade Next,” the free Second Saturday Documentary Series offering for September. The director and on-camera narrator of such films as ‘Bowling for Columbine’ and ‘Roger and Me’ visited countries that have found solutions to social challenges, including healthcare, public education, and criminal recidivism. When he found an idea he liked, he planted an American flag to claim the idea for America. Moore visits a Norwegian high security prison where the inmates have keys to their own cells, pursue certificate training courses or college degrees, and the guards carry no guns. Norway’s recidivism rate is 20 percent; the United States’ is 80 percent. While taking a light-hearted approach to serious problems, Moore acknowledges, “The American
dream seems to be alive and well everywhere but America.” After the screening, a moderated discussion will be led by Peggy Elwell, co-coordinator of the Low-Income Self-Help Center in San Jose, an active member of the Santa Clara County Single-Payer Health Care Coalition, an organizer of the Economic Justice Film Series, and a semi-retired librarian. The Second Saturday Documentary Series is co-sponsored by Niles Discovery Church and the San Jose Peace and Justice Center. Moore Film Screening Saturday, Sep 9 1:30 p.m. Niles Discovery Church 36600 Niles Blvd (corner of Nursery Ave), Fremont For more information: http://bit.ly/ssds1709 Free

(AP), Apple’s iPhone may be ready for its next big act — as a springboard into “augmented reality,’’ a technology that projects life-like images into real-world settings viewed through a screen. If you’ve heard about AR at all, it’s most likely because you’ve encountered “Pokemon Go,’’ in which players wander around neighborhoods trying to capture monsters only they can see on their phones. AR is also making its way into education and some industrial applications, such as product assembly and warehouse inventory management. Now Apple is hoping to transform the technology from a geeky sideshow into a mass-market phenomenon. It’s embedding AR-ready technology into its iPhones later this year, potentially setting the stage for a rush of new apps that blur the line between reality and digital representation in new and imaginative ways. “This is one of those huge things that we’ll look back at and marvel on the start of it,’’ Apple CEO Tim Cook told analysts during a Tuesday conference call. Many analysts agree. “This is the most important platform that Apple has created since the app store in 2008,’’ said Jan Dawson of Jackdaw Research. There’s just one catch: No one can yet point to a killer app for AR, at least beyond the year-old (and fading) fad of “Pokemon Go.’’ Instead, analysts argue more generally that AR creates enormous potential for new games, home-remodeling apps that let you visualize new furnishings and decor in an existing room, education, health care and more. For the moment, though,
we’re basically stuck with demos created by developers, including a “Star Wars”-like droid rolling past a dog that doesn’t realize it’s there; a digital replica of Houston on a table; and a virtual tour of Vincent Van Gogh’s bedroom. At Apple, the introduction of AR gets underway in September with the release of iOS 11, the next version of the operating system that powers hundreds of millions of iPhones and iPads around the world. Tucked away in that release is an AR toolkit intended to help software developers create new AR apps. Those apps, however, won’t work on just any Apple device — only the iPhone 6S and later models, including the hotly anticipated next-generation iPhone that Apple will release this fall. The 2017 iPad and iPad Pro will run AR apps as well. Apple isn’t the only company betting big on AR. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg talked up the technology at a company presentation in April, calling it a “really important technology that changes how we use our phones.’’ Apple rivals such as Google and Microsoft are also starting to deploy AR systems. Apple has been looking for something to lessen its dependence on the iPhone since the 2011 death of its co-founder CEO Steve Jobs, the driving force behind the company’s innovation factory. Cook thought he had come up with a revolutionary product when Apple began selling its smartwatch in 2015, but the Apple Watch remains a niche product. For now, the iPhone remains Apple’s dominant product, accounting for 55 percent of Apple’s $45.4 billion in revenue during the three months ended in June. The total revenue represented a 7 percent increase from the same time last year. Apple earned $8.7 billion, up
12 percent from last year. Tim Merel, managing director of technology consulting firm Digi-Capital, believes Apple’s entry into AR will catalyze the field. His firm expects AR to mushroom into an $83 billion market by 2021, up from $1.2 billion last year. That estimate assumes that Apple and its rivals will expand beyond AR software to high-tech glasses and other devices, such as Microsoft’s HoloLens headset. For now, though, nothing appears better suited for interacting with AR than the smartphone. Google already makes AR software called Tango that debuted on one Lenovo smartphone last year and will be part of another high-end device from Asus this month. But it will be years before Tango phones are as widely used as iPhones, or for that matter, iPads. Most of those devices are expected to become AR-ready when the free iOS 11 update hits next month. Nearly 90 percent of Apple devices powered by iOS typically install the new software version when it comes out. If that pattern holds true this fall, that will bring AR to about 300 million Apple devices that are already in people’s hands. If the new software wins over more AR fans as Apple hopes, analysts figure that Apple will begin building AR-specific devices, too. One obvious possibility might be a kind of AR glasses tethered to the iPhone, which would allow people to observe digital reality without having to look “through’’ a phone. Once technology allows, a standalone headset could render the iPhone unnecessary, at least for many applications. Such a device could ultimately supplant the iPhone, although that isn’t likely to happen for five to 10 years, even by the most optimistic estimates.

SUBMITTED BY KELSEY CAMELLO Stop by the Washington Township Museum of Local History at 190 Anza Street in Fremont sometime soon to enjoy the newly installed Little Free Library. From the Little Free Library website, Little Free Library is a nonprofit organization that inspires a love of reading, builds community and sparks creativity by fostering neighborhood book exchanges around the world. With only seven other Little Free Library locations in the Tri-City area, this is a welcome addition to the community at large.

Located right outside the front door for all to see and use, this special extension of the museum was designed and built by student volunteer Michael Kania. Michael is an incoming sophomore at Mission San Jose High School with a passion for volunteering. He’s been a dedicated and consistent volunteer with the museum since October 2016. When asked about his interest in the museum he said, “I enjoy volunteering at the museum
because I have always enjoyed history. When I began working at the museum with the other volunteers it was a lot of fun because they are very nice and we share a common interest.” Michael proposed the idea of a Little Free Library earlier this year and once he had approval to begin he made it happen very quickly. With more than 40 hours spent on the planning, design, building, painting, installation and stocking of the library, Michael has gone above and beyond for the museum, once again. Michael is very comfortable working with adults and students, he’s extremely personable and mature beyond his years. Museum board member Tom Heater, who works with him often, said of Michael, “He always shows up, stays longer than expected, and completes every task you ask him to take care of.” Thank you, Michael, for your work on the Little Free Library and your consistency with volunteering at the museum this past year!

Maximums and minimums - There’s a range of possibilities Residential developments are subject to limits on density, lot size, setbacks, parking, and other factors. In many cases there are ranges of acceptable values, and not every development has to be built at the maximum. Density Density is the allowable number of dwelling units per net acre. The General Plan specifies four ranges of residential density. Any density within each range is allowable, subject to zoning standards and other considerations. Residential developments in the City Center, Town Centers, Transit Oriented Development (TOD) areas, Historical areas, and Hillside areas may have additional density ranges. Lot Dimensions Zoning standards define the minimum lot size for a particular development. For example, single-family R-1-6 zoning requires all lots to be at least 6,000 square feet. R-1-8 zoning requires a minimum lot size of 8,000 square feet, and so on. If a developer proposes to build a Planned District instead of following the R-1 zoning standards, the lot sizes may vary, but the minimum must be at least 4,000 square feet. There are no maximum lot size standards. Limits on lots widths, lot depths, and setbacks depend on zoning and are usually minimums, with no maximums. Variations may be allowed with Planned District zoning. Parking The amount of parking required for residential developments depends on the zoning and the number of bedrooms in each dwelling. In single-family R-1 zoning, a minimum of two covered parking spaces on the site (usually in a
garage) are required for each unit with two to four bedrooms, and a minimum of three covered spaces for each unit with five or more bedrooms. There is no minimum for guest parking; it is assumed guests will park on the street. In multi-family R-3 developments, parking requirements depend on whether the property is inside or outside a TOD area. Parking requirements in TOD areas have both minimum and maximum limits and the range is lower to encourage walking and the use of public transportation. Other Factors Street widths within a residential development can vary. Public streets must be wider than private streets. A minimum amount of open space is required for each dwelling in single-family residential developments, while multi-family developments require a much smaller amount of open space for each dwelling, but compensate for it with a common open space to be shared by all. Building construction standards are set by the State of California and contain maximums, minimums, and allowable range of variations. It’s All in the Findings All proposed developments are reviewed by the City of Fremont Planning Department staff. If staff determines that a development complies with the General Plan land use designation and meets all the applicable zoning standards, it is forwarded to the Zoning Administrator or Planning Commission as is. However, if a development proposal is requesting changes and exceptions to the General Plan or zoning standards, staff must work with the developer to justify the variations. Common requests are General Plan Amendments to change the land
use designation for a specific property, and zoning changes from one type of zoning to another; for example, changing from straight R-1 zoning to Planned District zoning in order to vary zoning standards. The reason that a change or exception is (or is not) justified is known as a “finding.” Staff presents these findings in writing in their Staff Report, and the Planning Commission or City Council reviews them to determine if they agree. The general public may express their agreement or disagreement with the findings at any time in the review process. For example, a developer who wants to build at the upper end of the allowable density range for a piece of property may propose to build all the houses on very small lots by changing the zoning to a Small Lot Planned District. Although that may be justified under the zoning standards, it may not be justified if the houses are too large for the lots, or if the resulting project would conflict with the community character of the area or cause other problems. The important point is that many factors in a residential development have ranges of acceptability. Not every development has to be built at the maximum, and not every change and exception has to be approved. All residents are encouraged to learn about new residential developments in their area and to express their questions, comments, and concerns to the assigned staff planner.

Tri-City Stargazer FOR WEEK: For All Signs: Saturn turns direct on August 25, 2017 for the next 5-and-a-half months. This happens every year, but not on the same dates. While direct, Saturn is a taskmaster. (S)He is also the Judge or the Teacher. He has been retrograde since April 5, 2017. While he is retrograde, we are given time to think about what we “should” do and Aries the Ram (March 21April 20): It will be important to use firmness about your boundaries. This is likely to be particularly so with children, and even lovers who may want to overrun your plans. If you have wondered whether to approach a potential lover, the time is now. The warrior is in your corner. Count on it. Others will pay attention. Taurus the Bull (April 21May 20): Your avatar, Venus, moves into your fourth house which is related to home, property and family matters. You may have a desire to improve the appearance of the environment around you, whether at home or at work. You may be attracted to activities that allow you to play or work with your favorite colors. Venus remains there until September 18, 2017. Gemini the Twins (May 21June 20): Recall that Mercury, your planetary avatar, is retrograding. This week he makes several minor, but challenging aspects. Your schedule may be hard to plan. Work around the house may require two trips to
the hardware store and then another tweak. Hold onto your sense of humor. Cancer the Crab (June 21July 21): Now that the August eclipses are over, you have the opportunity to take a break and clean up whatever messes may have developed. It is a matter of good mental health that you take some time to rest and recover. Eclipse seasons are generally hard on Cancerians. Leo the Lion (July 22-August 22): Venus enters your sign on August 26, 2017 and will be traveling with you through September 18. Her presence gives you an air of poise and people will simply like how you look. Often when Venus is prominent we become more interested in art forms and want to make things in the environment more attractive. We are also more interested in beautifying ourselves. Virgo the Virgin (August 23September 22): While Mercury retrogrades in your sign, it will be a challenge to make decisions. Unless they are minor in nature, it might be less energy consuming to avoid them altogether. If
AUGUST 23 - AUGUST 29
prepare for the time that we will do it. Then he turns direct again and it is time. We must fulfill whatever is required or the consequences will materialize. Since she is now in the sign of Sagittarius, we must define our rules and laws and expect to abide by them. Now that Saturn has again turned direct, we must clear and clean the slate.
you are pressed to move forward, do your research well ahead of making a commitment. Libra the Scales (September 23-October 22): Venus, your ruling planet, travels with you into the territory of friendships, community and organizational affairs. Over the next three weeks she will enhance your presence within any activity of this sphere. It is a good time to plan a party for friends or to meet new people at other gatherings. Scorpio the Scorpion (October 23-November 21): You likely will be presented with a new career or life direction opportunity. Although you have doubting inner voices and a few obstacles, you can do this. The symbols suggest it is on your life path, so help will be available. Sagittarius the Archer (November 22-December 21): You are reaping benefits of a work well done during this last two-year period. An opportunity surfaces to show your new skills. Perhaps there will be an experience that makes this clear this week or next. Take heart. Your effort has been noticed. Take a
careful step into the new option. Capricorn the Goat (December 22-January 19): Business in general is favored for you most of the summer through mid-September. Unexpected opportunities are coming your way. It is up to you to respond and take action. These will help you toward a big transition that comes early in 2018. At present the legal irritations may require your attention, but in the bigger schema they are just nits. Aquarius the Water Bearer (January 20-February 18): Aspects are favorable in the areas of travel, education, publication, and legal interests. If you are not already traveling, you may be planning your next trip now. A
surprising event or encounter is likely to occur this week. Boredom could cause you to decide to do away with the old to make room for the new. Pisces the Fish (February 19-March 20): Money or other material goods may be repaid or returned this week or next. Positive opportunities may develop via career contacts. Be aware that you are in a sensitive frame of mind and may misinterpret that which is said to you. You may be the one who hears what you want to hear. Take your impressions with a grain of salt until you clarify what was originally intended.

Resource Center seeking planning partners SUBMITTED BY FREMONT UNIFIED STUDENT STORE As the Fremont Family Resource Center (FRC) approaches its 20th year, it invites community partners to participate in a 5-year planning process to “best support families facing social and economic challenges thrive through services, community leadership development and by engaging, valuing and using each partner organization’s expertise and contribution.” FRC will again be working with Jane Stallman and Stephanie Hochman, affiliates of the Institute of Cultural Affairs. Using Technology of Participation® methods in their work, the pair lead a series of structured participatory meetings that address practical vision, obstacles to making the vision a reality, and the development of strategic directions, success indicators and initiatives. FRC seeks to build broad community input through a series of focus groups which the planning group will help facilitate. The planning group will consist of the following: • A management and line staff employee from each FRC member agency, preferably including the site manager
• 5 to 7 FRC customers/clients, if possible (modest stipends will be provided) • 3 to 5 FRC Community Advisory and Engagement Board members • 1 to 3 VITA/SparkPoint volunteers, if possible • The FRC Leadership Team and members of the FRC core team • Representatives of other stakeholders, e.g. FUSD, Kid’s Zone/NHUSD, healthcare organizations, Union City, Newark • Youth, if possible Planning group members are asked to commit to the entire process (six meetings), which will take place September 2017 through January 2018. Between Session One and Session Two, members of the planning group will be asked to facilitate one focus group with key FRC constituents – either a group you belong to or can arrange, or one that we will help to arrange for you. For a complete schedule of meetings and to RSVP regarding your participation, contact Judy Schwartz at (510) 574-2007 or jschwartz@fremont.gov

ARTICLE AND PHOTOS BY DANIEL O’DONNELL Many people know the quote “Good fences make good neighbors.” Although it was repeated twice in the Robert Frost poem “Mending Wall,” the quote is not meant to be a true statement. A fence by definition is a barrier used to divide land and control visual and physical access. This definition does not read like the most neighborly structure. There are plenty of reasons to place a fence around a yard, especially in an urban environment. There are also plenty of reasons to get to know your neighbors, let the community share your garden, and not give the impression of being separated from the rest of the neighborhood. Those goals are hard to accomplish with a traditional fence that is six feet tall, surrounds a yard, and has a closed gate. An “ornamental fence” might be all that is needed to alleviate any isolationist concerns, while at the same time provide a necessary function. An ornamental or decorative fence does not have to enclose an area. It can be six inches tall to eight feet tall. It can be four to 400 feet long. It can be made of wood, wire, vinyl, or different types of metal. It can be a solid structure or have large gaps making it see-through. All it has to do is provide the solution

for a particular problem or create a desired look. Keeping dogs from going to the bathroom in a yard is often a major concern for property owners, but the barrier does not have to be imposing. A one-foot tall metal rail fence or wooden split-rail fence can be all that is needed to convince a person walking a dog that the grass is greener elsewhere.
Privacy and noise reduction are also functions that do not require a conventional fence. A wooden fence just one or two panels long, placed strategically in front of a window, with a generous amount of space between it and the window, can provide just as much privacy and
noise reduction as a fence along the entire perimeter of a yard. It also provides a design element that makes it visually appealing to plant shrubs or vines in front of, helping to mask the fact that the structure is there for privacy. Using an ornamental fence with a lot of open space between
the rails or boards can provide a subtle, yet artistic way to achieve the transition between different areas of the garden. A decorative fence can be used to separate property boundaries, define seating and dining areas, and mark walkways. It can be used as a visual barrier between a driveway and footpath to keep drivers aware of their space. A solid ornamental fence placed appropriately can act as a barrier to weed seeds blowing into a garden from an adjacent field or the yard next door. Any perimeter fence design can be used for an ornamental fence whether it is made from wood, vinyl, wire, or metal. There are far more design options by choosing to use wood. All a decorative fence has to do is break up the sightline. Fence boards can be placed together or separated by small, medium, or large gaps. Spaces do not have to be consistent and the fence boards can be placed vertically or horizontally; they do not even have to be the same size. Playing with a design on paper will not only help visualize a fence, but when drawn to scale, will provide a fool-proof blueprint for building it.
A fence differs from a wall in that it does not have a continuous solid foundation. This makes it easier to construct. Depending upon the design that is chosen, very little, if any concrete might be needed. Lack of a gate means that less hardware is needed. Even though nails are cheaper than screws, screws are more forgiving if an adjustment needs to be made. Ornamental fences can be screwed together instead of nailed because the structure is usually smaller and shorter than a perimeter fence, making use of screws affordable. The Bay Area is getting more and more crowded. A traditional tall perimeter fence might seem like a good way to counteract the onslaught of development, but at the expense of being part of the growing community. An ornamental fence on the other hand, gives the opportunity to set boundaries while at the same time open new vistas that can include good neighbors. Daniel O’Donnell is the co-owner and operator of an organic landscape design/build company in Fremont. www.Chrysalis-Gardens.com

Silent song finds iTunes popularity due to special role ASSOCIATED PRESS No, the volume is just fine. It’s the song. An unusual tune has found its way onto the top 50 on the iTunes charts, alongside Ed Sheeran and Keith Urban hits. The song is completely silent. “A a a a a Very Good Song” costs 99 cents for just under 10 minutes of dead air. While the musical quality of the track is debatable, its popularity is due
to its simple role: When people plug smartphones into a car, usually the first song alphabetically plays by default. “A a a a a Very Good Song” offers users several minutes of respite. The “song” is the brainchild of Samir Mezrahi, who released it the week of August 7. While high on iTunes, the song hasn’t made much of a stir on Google Play.

SUBMITTED BY JANET BARTON Happy garden volunteers moved their garden tools into a new shed at the California Nursery Historical Park. The spacious shed was generously donated to the Math Science Nucleus by the Candle Lighters organization. Shovels, rakes, wheelbarrows, hoses, hand tools, and gloves will have a bigger, more organized space in the new shed. The Niles Rotary Club has also given $1,000 so the shed is stocked with tools for volunteers. With this move, the old yellow windmill will once again become the focal point of the
rose garden. On special occasions, the windmill will be opened for that perfect photo opportunity for you and your family and friends. But why, you may have wondered, is there a yellow windmill in the middle of the rose garden? For that answer, we have to go back in time, 100 years ago. In 1917 George C. Roeding bought the California Nursery Company. He combined his successful Fresno-based nursery, Fancher Creek, with the huge operations in Niles. Over the next half century, three generations of the Roeding family ran the nursery. Starting in the 1930s, under the leadership of George C.
Roeding, Jr., an annual spring bulb show attracted thousands of people to the nursery. A windmill served as a focal point then, as now, in the gardens. Daffodils, tulips, narcissus, and hyacinths filled these same display beds. Dutch girls mingled with Mexican singers. Guests toured the grounds. The spring shows ran through the 1960s. The last remaining 20 acres of the nursery became a park in the 1970s. In 1993, Friends of Heirloom Flowers formed to take care of the historic display gardens at the former nursery. At that time, the windmill had fallen into disrepair. Friends of Heirloom Flowers built a brand new windmill in 1999. Many of the “Friends” moved on to take care of Shinn Park, but some garden volunteers stayed behind. The gardeners continue to care for the nursery’s display gardens including the rose, succulent, pollinator habitat, and Japanese style. Volunteers meet every Thursday from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and take great pride in caring for the gardens. They always welcome new volunteers
to help with pruning, raking, weeding, fertilizing, and deadheading. It’s a great way to “stop and smell the roses” and to provide a restful spot for the community. The Rose Garden is getting ready for the Roeding Centennial Exhibit, which will open on Sunday, September 10 at the California Nursery Office Museum and a Saturday, October 14 free “Fremont History through the Ages” event so residents can learn not only of the California Nursery Company story, but all of Fremont.
Math Science Nucleus oversees the garden volunteers and the museum. The museum is now open on Sundays thanks to the city of Fremont and Math Science Nucleus. Please visit on Sundays from 1 p.m. – 4 p.m. You can find out more about the park’s history including the bulb shows. For more information about Friends of the California Nursery and how to volunteer or visit the facility, go to https://msnucleus.org/calnursery/index.html, e-mail msn@msnucleus.org, or call (510) 790-6284.

SUBMITTED BY DIONICIA RAMOS The Hayward Unified School District (HUSD) will participate in the annual Million Father March 2017, an event organized on the first day of school in nearly 600 cities across the country. The Million Father March (MFM) has become a day for fathers and male role models to provide an escort of safety, support, and encouragement to their children, families, and communities. HUSD encourages participation at all district schools, but a special event is scheduled for Harder Elementary. District and community leaders will be on hand to welcome families with snacks, informational packets, and giveaways in a celebratory environment. Research shows that children whose fathers take an active role in their educational lives earn better grades, score higher on tests, enjoy school more, and are more likely to graduate from high school and attend college. Additionally, children have fewer behavior problems when fathers play an active role in their lives. The annual event was started by the Black Star Project, a Chicago-based non-profit, to encourage black fathers to show

their commitment to the educational lives of their children. It has now grown to include parents of any gender and ethnic identification. Thousands of schools across the country will participate in the MFM, with an estimated one million men expected to take part. HUSD invites fathers, grandfathers, uncles, big brothers, and other male role models to accompany children in their family to the first day of school. Businesses are asked to give employees the flexibility to take their children to school that morning. The event marks the beginning of a year-long commitment by men to their children’s educational success.

the stories are posted without the author’s name, so voting will be anonymous. Please visit www.FremontCulturalArtsCoun-

City’s Youth & Family Services’ Art Therapist, Heather Curtis, to create an inspirational mural on a traffic signal control box located on Fremont Boulevard at Country Way in Fremont. The project was part of the City of Fremont’s boxArt! Program. The mural reflects Fremont’s olive growing history as it relates to the agricultural theme the boxArt! Program is focusing on this year. For the youth, the mission and olives evoked feelings of “finding peace” and having a greater connection with the com-
munity. The youth were extremely engaged in this project and demonstrated a high commitment to attend the Academy three days each week as well as La Familia Counseling’s Youth Employment Program. In addition to painting the mural on the traffic signal control box, the youth joined local seniors in a Tai Chi class and assisted in serving lunch at the Fremont Senior Center as community service. Congratulations to this year’s Youth Empowerment Academy graduates!

n a city where more than 100 languages are spoken, the German School of Fremont (GSF) may be one of the area’s longest operating language schools and one of its best-kept secrets. Launched by an immigrant couple in 1963 who wanted to teach their own children and those in the neighborhood the German language and culture, the school began in the living room of Alfred and Annamarie Kaufmann. Eventually their efforts turned into a nonprofit organization, hiring teachers and recruiting parents to volunteer services on a governing board. The school operated for years in space rented from Fremont Community Church, but last year subleased from the Fremont Unified School District to operate from Azevada Elementary School with easy freeway access. GSF will resume in that location again this year, its 54th year of continuous classes, in September. The school averages 75 students, although some years have seen enrollment climb to 130 students. Students come from the Tri-Cities but also the Peninsula and eastward from Danville. A member of the German American School

representing Germany. Once in her company’s café, she overheard two people speaking German and struck up a conversation. The friendship continued although they no longer work at the same company. Now Bader is about to move into a new position requiring that she review video content in German on a daily basis. “As someone who recently graduated and had a lot of job searching, I must say that there are many positions at prominent companies, in the Bay Area alone, that need German speakers,” says Bader. Her advice to students? “Don’t miss out on those opportunities and hit those German books!” With German Language Certification, students can

attend the university in Germany tuition-free - both native Germans and international students. About 51,000 students in 65 countries prepare for the proficiency exams each year. Exams consist of listening and reading comprehension and writing and oral communication. About 4,600 American students attend German universities tuition free, up 20 percent over previous years.
Association of Northern California, GSF is one of seven German schools in the Bay Area and a smaller one where most students know each other, in part because break times are scheduled to coincide so all 10 classes share the same recess. Cost of classes runs $330 for the fall semester, 15 Saturdays from September to January, a cost of about $22 per Saturday, less than $9 an hour, explains GSF Board President Carina Gerntke. Starting at 9:30 a.m. and ending at noon, classes range in size from 7 to 12 students for children’s classes to as many as 16 in adult classes. While demand for Mandarin classes has exploded and German classes have largely phased out of high schools, some students of the school find their language skills in demand. Angelina Bader, who enrolled at GSF as a preteen, says she uses her German language “everywhere.” In high school, she participated in an exchange through the German-American Partnership Program, making “wonderful friends and memories.” She went on to take the two exams for the German Language Certificate of Education Ministers Conference, Level I and II, for which teachers at the GSF helped her prepare. Award ceremonies at the German Consulate for those earning certification introduced her to more people in the Bay Area who speak German, including officials

Jessica Nesbit was introduced to GSF by her grandmother, who encouraged her to take classes prior to their trip to Germany. As an adult, Nesbit moved to Germany to be close to a boyfriend. She credits her classes at GSF and a semester of college German with giving her confidence to secure work in a German kindergarten and teach business English. From there, she enrolled in University of Cologne’s International Environmental Science to earn a master’s degree while working part time at the university’s meteorology department. Now married, she and her husband returned from Germany and live in Sacramento. “I would say I am fluent in German at a conversational level. When I spoke in Germany, no one knew

I was a foreigner until it came to my grammar. However, since moving back, I feel like I am forgetting. I wanted to reach out to GSF to keep my German fluency,” Nesbit says, but the two-hour drive from Sacramento makes re-enrolling a challenge. GSF offers students more than language. It offers experiences in the culture of Germany, particularly holiday traditions. For Saint Martin’s Day – celebrating a Roman soldier who became a Christian monk who gave to the poor – Germans once created bonfires, but now more often adults and children march with lanterns. At GSF, children sing songs about feeding the poor and walk parade-style with paper lanterns they make. Bader recalls the Maypole dance for spring festival, when dancers stand in a circle around the Maypole, each holding a ribbon attached to pole in the center. “Through a series of intertwined dance steps, the ribbons end up creating a design around the pole,” she says. “I remember that we practiced in a courtyard and learned the vocabulary that came with the specific aspects of the celebration. It was fun and educational.” With more German families moving into the Bay Area, attendance at GSF is often sparked by parents wanting to insure that their children can talk with grandparents in their grandparents’ native language, says Gerntke. Some parents may also be thinking ahead about job opportunities for their children. “With Germany’s low birth rate, skilled workers are in demand.” German School of Fremont Fall classes begin Saturday, Sep 9 Joseph Azevada Elementary School 39450 Royal Palm Dr, Fremont info@gsfremont.org www.gsfremont.org

SUBMITTED BY BOB MILLER PHOTOS BY TERRY SULLIVAN The Douglas Morrisson Theatre (DMT) opens the 2017 fall season with the riotously hilarious classic “Arsenic and Old Lace.” Joseph Kesselring’s dark farce will have 15 performances, including one preview, August 24 through September 17 at the Douglas Morrisson Theatre in Hayward. DMT’s production of “Arsenic and Old Lace” is directed by Dale Albright and features an impressive ensemble of Bay Area comedy talent: Mary Bishop (Abby Brewster), Christine Macomber (Martha Brewster), Alan Coyne (Mortimer Brewster), Dan Wilson (Teddy Brewster), Kyle Goldman (Jonathan Brewster), Ivan Velazquez (Dr. Einstein), Gretta Stimson (Elaine Harper), Michael Crozier (The Rev. Dr. Harper/ Mr. Gibbs/ Mr. Witherspoon), Nick Coelius (Officer Brophy), Lucas Gust (Officer Klein), Helena Clarkson (Officer O’Hara), and Pam Williams (Lieutenant Rooney).

I can’t wait for people to see this production in all of its gothic glee.” “Arsenic and Old Lace” opened on Broadway in January 1941; it starred Josephine Hull and Jean Adair as the homicidal Brewster sisters, and Boris Karloff in his Broadway debut playing Jonathan Brewster, a version of himself. The play’s plot may be based on the true story of Amy Archer-Gilligan, who killed residents of the Connecticut nursing home she ran in the early 20th century, and was found guilty of fatally poisoning one resident, but suspected of killing many more. Critically praised and hugely successful, the play ran for over three years in New York, a total of 1444 performances – and in London for 1,337 performances, the longest there for any American play to date.

ecently, there have been reports of burglaries, stolen cars, gold chain snatchings, and more. After hearing about a burglary on her own street and seeing a stolen car abandoned in front of her house, Girl Scout Surina Bothra decided to work with the Fremont Police Department to spread awareness about crime prevention and personal safety to earn her Gold Award. The Gold Award is the Girl Scout organization’s highest award and is given to a girl who undertakes a long-lasting leadership project that addresses an important issue in the community. Surina has promoted safety through the Neighborhood Crime Watch Program. In addition to strengthening the relationship between residents and law enforcement, a Neighborhood Watch Group creates a bond between neighbors that improves communication and establishes a sense of community. Working with the Community Engagement Specialist at the police department, Surina was instrumental in starting two new Neighborhood Watch Groups in her area. To help publicize the groups, she created flyers, magnets and a video that shows viewers how to identify suspicious activity. Then she presented this information to community groups. As part of the project, Surina advised groups about when to call the Fremont Police Department non-emergency number and when to call 911. The non-emergency line (in Fremont, dial 790-6800, press 3) is available to report non-urgent suspicious activity, like an unknown person scoping out the

neighborhood in their car, while 911 is for crimes in progress. Personal safety has also been a problem in Fremont, so Surina created materials and a video about how to stay safe while taking a walk, which includes tips such as walking with a friend and carrying pepper spray or a personal alarm. To address the diverse population of Fremont, Surina also created culturally-specific materials with safety information. This includes information about gold chain snatching, a recent crime trend in the area in which a robber will yank gold jewelry from a woman’s neck as she is walking down the street. Gold chain snatching primarily affects women of South Asian descent, so they are advised to remove their jewelry before walking. In addition, burglars will sometimes strike during holidays
like Diwali and Chinese New Year, as they know people keep large amounts of gold jewelry and cash in their homes for these occasions. Surina is thankful to have the opportunity to make a difference in her community and spread awareness about an important topic. She has been a Girl Scout for 13 years and is proud to end her Girl Scouting experience with the Gold Award. Anyone interested in starting a Neighborhood Watch group can call the Fremont Police Department at (510) 790-6740 and ask for the Community Engagement Specialist.

Keep your cellphone close while riding BART SUBMITTED BY LES MENSINGER Prompted by a recent uptick in cellphone robberies at various stations, Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) officials have kicked off a public awareness campaign to let riders know that thefts are happening and how they can avoid becoming a victim. The campaign includes regular audio announcements on trains and in stations throughout the BART system. A message has been placed at the bottom of BART Service Advisories that are emailed to subscribers. BART has also developed an awareness poster for display inside train cars and is available in multiple languages. All BART riders who use cellphones are urged to keep their cellphones secure, especially near train doors and while waiting on station platforms. When on a moving train, it’s also a good idea to put away cellphones when the train approaches a station stop. BART officials report that there have been nine thefts involving electronic devices so far in August. There were 24 in July. Both figures are tracking down from a high of 58 in March.
New Neighborhood Watch group forming in Newark SUBMITTED BY TIM JONES, NEWARK PD To deter crime in their area, neighbors in the Prima Development in Newark have banded together to form a Neighborhood Watch group in coordination with the Newark Police Department. Launched in 1972, the Neighborhood Watch program is one of the most effective crime prevention tools in the nation. Citizens participating in local programs organize themselves and work with local law enforcement agencies to keep
a trained eye and ear on their communities, while making their presence known all day and night. Neighborhood Watch works because it reduces opportunities for crime to occur; it doesn’t rely on altering or changing a criminal’s behavior or motivation. Newark residents in other areas who are interested in starting a Neighborhood Watch program are encouraged to call Tim Jones, in the Community Engagement Division of the Newark Police Department at (510) 578-4209 or send him an email at tim.jones@newark.org.

Our House responsibility and fading hope that all of us need to work within a system rather than adopt an active or apathetic attitude toward destruction of it.
WILLIAM MARSHAK
A
1970 song, written by Graham Nash and recorded by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, describes a moment of tranquility, expressing relief and appreciation for ordinary life without stress and strain. Nash said, “…Our House was born, out of an incredibly ordinary moment that many, many people have experienced”. All of us ask for this state of grace, but rarely find it in a busy, progressive world that constantly demands attention and adaptation to change. This longing for a simple life is enticing but often unrealistic, magnifying memories prejudiced by internal censorship – positive or negative. In the end, experience can moderate and temper challenges of the present and future; it should be a guide rather than dictate absolute and dogmatic response. On a national and international scale, there are many who have tainted their response to internal and external factors including terrorism, immigration and economics with fearful, simplistic answers. Some politicians have exacerbated the flames of fear with inflammatory rhetoric and worse, silence, when asked by constituents to address real challenges facing real people with real problems. At the heart of the resulting discontent is abdication of
Our House was written to convey satisfaction with an ordinary occurrence, uncomplicated and without glamor or frivolity. Reportedly, it didn’t take long to write and wasn’t created to be a hit song, rather a fundamental emotional. Although criticized by some as “trite”, it conveys a sense of belonging and peaceful coexistence, currently lacking in some political circles. In the greater Tri-City area, the relative calm and inclusive civic fabric is a welcome relief to national turmoil that has normalized divisiveness, suspicion and hatred. Our House should not and cannot be tainted by irrational fear and distrust. While it is understandable that people under stress and perceived threat can react with rancor toward others with differing views, the desired result is not so different – a decent standard of living and opportunity for following generations to succeed and thrive. Wholesale change of the political structure is an option but exclusion of “others” has never been or will be productive. Who should inhabit Our House? If it is designed exclusively for a single slice of the American religious, ethnic and racial pie, should it be Costanoan Ohlone Native Americans? Mexican Vaqueros? Italian and Portuguese sailors? Swiss dairy farmers? Mormon settlers? 49’er gold miners? Chinese laborers? Early immigrants? Later immigrants? Japanese farmers? African-American and Caucasian entrepreneurs? A specific religion? When confronted with a plethora of founding mothers and fathers, it is apparent that our house and our land is constructed by a mosaic of folks who focused on creating a very fine

house that sheltered and encouraged everyone to succeed in peaceful coexistence. Everything was not tranquil or harmonious, but the challenge of life was enough to consume their energy and move toward the present emerging powerhouse of the Greater Tri-City area. That legacy has served us well as we struggle to compensate for an economic imbalance that has decimated the Middle Class and threatens to destroy it. It is up to those who have reaped financial rewards of this societal disconnect with obscene wealth to face the uncomfortable truth that we all bear responsibility for changing the system through at least local and regional politics. We need immediate housing and workforce relief. Relics of the past are instructional but an inexact roadmap for the future. Instead of culture conflicts and calling for the “good old days,” our politicians should be sensitive to the “very fine people” who represent true American values ingenuity, energy and ethics – and endeavor to build a very, very fine house. Our house is a very, very fine house With two cats in the yard Life used to be so hard Now everything is easy ‘Cause of you And our la,la,la, la,la, la, la, la, la, la, la.....
Passengers boarding subway trains in Los Angeles may soon be shuffled through airport-style body scanners that are aimed to detect firearms and explosives. A two-day pilot program by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority began Aug. 16. But officials quickly experienced a hiccup when a scanner being demonstrated the first morning at Union Station malfunctioned before passengers could be put through the machine. The machines use sensors to scan a person as they walk through,
searching for firearms and explosive compounds, said Dave Sotero, a Metro spokesman. Passengers don’t need to unload laptops or take off their jackets or shoes as the radio waves scan them to detect anomalies. “It is specifically designed to test for mass-casualty threats,’’ Sotero said. “The technology enables the system to locate on the body where there is a potential threat, and it appears on a video screen.” Metro is conducting the pilot program to evaluate the accuracy and capacity of the portable machines and determine if the scanners could become permanent fixtures in the Los Angeles transit

system. Each machine is designed to scan about 600 people per hour, Sotero said. About 150,000 passengers ride on Metro’s Red Line daily, he said. “This is designed so you don’t have to wait,’’ Sotero said. “The idea is that you have a continuous flow of people through the security system without causing a backlog and causing people to miss their trains.’’ Similar to airport checkpoints, when someone passes through the scanner, they are held for a few seconds while law enforcement officers watch a monitor that shows the location on any anomalies the body. Several
security officers stood guard at the screening checkpoint at Union Station on Wednesday morning. Large signs advised passengers that the screening is voluntary. The scanners sell for about $60,000 each, said Chris McLaughlin, a vice president with Evolv Technology, which makes the system. “I think it is a good idea with everything that has been going on and ISIS,’’ passenger Jazmin Rosales, 29, said. “As long as it doesn’t take too long, at least you know you can feel safe.’’

Japan, an experience that changed his life forever. There he grew a love for Japanese language, food and culture. On his return, he majored in Japanese. After starting a family, he moved with them to Shiojiri, Japan where he worked for Seiko Epson. He would never purchase a non-Epson printer for the remainder of his life, a testament to his loyalty! After five years in Japan, Wayne settled in Fremont, CA with his family and lived there for 23 years where he worked for Nikko Hi-tech International and was able to use his Japanese language skills daily. Wayne will be remembered for
his love of family, service, dogs and babies, vacuums, electric cars, brownie batter, Disneyland, Japan, spicy beef rollups, humming birds, and all things science and space. He will always be admired for his hard work and dedication to his family. Services will be held for him on Saturday, August 26th at 1:00 pm at the LDS church on 3551 Decoto Road, Fremont, CA 94536.

Often cantankerous but always warm-hearted and deeply-loved by his large extended family, Dean Gumas of Fremont, Calif., died after an extended and courageous battle with cancer on July 19 at the age of 56. Dean’s earliest years were spent in Daly City. At a young age, he moved with his parents and grandmother to Fremont, where he was a lifelong resident. He was the adored son of Sam and Jean Gumas; he lost his father in 1972, when Dean was only 11, and he was a devoted son to his mother until her death in 2015 at the age of 89. Dean had a talent for technology, and he worked for several companies as an information technology specialist. His declining health in recent years kept him from many activities that he loved, especially fishing, train travel, and spending time in the mountains. Dean was immensely proud of his Greek-Italian heritage, and his many family members in the Bay Area and in Youngstown, Ohio, will always remember all the special times spent with him. Dean is survived by devoted aunts and uncles, Virginia and Peter Kardassakis of San Francisco, Peter and
Pari Spallas of Chico, and John Papadakis of Chico; as well as 13 much-loved first cousins in Ohio, California, and North Carolina. He was pre-deceased by aunts and uncles Alex and Georgia Scordelis of El Cerrito; Faye Papadakis of Chico; and Anthony, Flavio, and Patsy Ginnetti, and Elizabeth Nicodemo, all of Ohio. Private funeral services have been held. Friends are asked to remember Dean in their prayers, and invited to make contributions in Dean’s memory to the Ohlone Humane Society in Fremont or to a charity of their choice.

October 23, 1918 – August 15, 2017
Sister M. Concetta Lombardo, SHF, died peacefully at the Motherhouse of the Sisters of the Holy Family in Fremont on August 15, 2017 at the age of 98. She was born Concetta Elizabeth Lombardo on October 23, 1918, in Jamestown, New York, and entered the Sisters of the Holy Family from St. Joseph Parish in San Jose, California, on January 6, 1957, at the age of 38. Her death came during her year of celebrating her 60th Jubilee as a member of the Sisters of the Holy Family. Sister Concetta served in religious education in parishes in northern and southern California
as well as in Nevada and Texas. She returned to California in 1969, and from then on engaged in community and family ministry. In 1977 she moved to the Motherhouse in Mission San Jose, where she served variously in the infirmary, in the kitchen as cook, and as portress. Sister Concetta was most known for her pleasant and gentle ways, and for her welcoming spirit in her role in hospitality ministry at the Motherhouse. She spent much time in prayer, and was devoted to the Blessed Virgin Mary, understandably as she carried the name, Concetta, which is an Italian recognition of the Immaculate Conception of Mary. She was called home to God on the feast of Mary’s Assumption. The Mass of Resurrection will be celebrated on Wednesday, August 23, at 11:00 a.m. at the Holy Family Motherhouse in Fremont. Interment will follow at 2:30 pm at Holy Cross Cemetery in Colma. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be sent to the Sisters of the Holy Family, PO Box 3248, Fremont, CA 94539.

Dear EarthTalk: What exactly is Al Gore’s Climate Reality Project and how does it work to train activists? — Kelly G., Washington, DC The Climate Reality Project (CRP) is a non-profit launched in 2011 by Nobel laureate and former U.S. Vice President
Al Gore to address climate change following up on the release of his influential book and documentary film, “An Inconvenient Truth.” The CRP serves as the nerve center of Gore’s advocacy and education efforts to spread the word about the need to ratchet down our greenhouse gas emissions to stave off the cataclysmic effects of global warming. CRP’s primary focus right now is in training volunteer advocates — so-called “Climate Reality Leaders” — to go out into their communities and educate policymakers and members of the public about the need to act to mitigate climate change while countering so-called “climate denial” efforts funded by oil companies and perpetuated by right wing think tanks. So far, about 10,000 individuals from

The Climate Reality Project EARTHTALK
q Credit Card
Al Gore created the Climate Reality Project to be the nerve center of his advocacy and education efforts to spread the word about the need to ratchet down our greenhouse gas emissions to stave off the cataclysmic effects of global warming.
135 countries have participated in CRP training events. The primary tool these Climate Reality Leaders use to spread the word is a regularly updated slide show created by Gore in 2011 that lays out the facts behind climate change. It details example after example of human-induced global warming wreaking havoc by lashing lowlying areas with massive storms, killing thousands with blistering heat waves and turning human populations already marginalized by war and famine into migratory climate refugees searching for safer places to live. Meanwhile, CRP’s free “Reality Drop” news aggregator
tool collects online news stories about climate change that activists can share on social media channels to dispel myths about global warming to help set the record straight for millions of friends, fans and followers. Most recently, CRP has supported the creation and distribution of the follow-up to “An Inconvenient Truth,” a new documentary entitled “An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power.” The film, released worldwide in July 2017, follows Gore around the world, documenting how global warming is already ravaging the planet. CRP is working to get the film in front of millions of viewers, as it did with the original
film, in hopes it will inspire a new generation of citizen activists. And, in December 2017, CRP will host its seventh annual “24 Hours of Reality,” a free, livestreamed multimedia event that showcases what’s being done to fight climate change in each of the world’s top 24 greenhouse gas emitting countries. It aims to show viewers what they can do even if their country’s leaders aren’t as invested in positive change as they could be. “When you talk, your friends and family listen,” reports CRP. “That’s why it’s so important that every climate activist use their voice to spread the truth about the climate crisis.” Even those who haven’t attended a CRP event can download the free “I Am Still In” action kit which teaches people how to build support for clean energy and other climate solutions at the community level. “There are many ways to use your voice, and whether you write a letter to the editor of your local paper or call your representative or talk to your neighbors, you can make a difference in sharing the truth and shaping public opinion right when your planet needs you,” concludes CRP.
Why Twitter won’t ban President Donald Trump BY BARBARA ORTUTAY, ASSOCIATED PRESS Twitter has made it clear that it won’t ban Donald Trump from its service, whether the president follows its rules against harassment or not. That’s no surprise: The president’s tweets draw attention to the struggling service, even if tweets mocking reporters and rivals undercut Twitter’s stated commitment to make the service a welcoming place. The company has been cracking down on accounts that violate its terms, and Trump’s critics say he has broken Twitter’s rules multiple times. Calls to ban Trump from Twitter, largely by liberal activists, writers and Twitter users, sounded even before he became president. They were renewed recently when the president posted a mock video of him “body slamming” a man whose face was covered by CNN logo. Groups such as the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press condemned the video as a threat against journalists (a White House aide said at the time that the tweet should not be seen as a threat).
THE CASE FOR TRUMP Twitter does ban harassment and hateful conduct, but there is a lot of wiggle room as to what constitutes such behavior. For instance, though it may be crude to tweet that a TV host was “bleeding badly from a face-lift,” they are at best in a gray area when it comes to violating Twitter terms. When asked about Trump, Twitter says it doesn’t comment on individual accounts. But CEO Jack Dorsey told NBC in May that it’s “really important to hear directly from leadership” to hold people accountable and have conversations out in the open, not behind closed doors. It also makes business sense: Trump’s tweets are constantly in headlines, calling attention to Twitter and, ideally, getting more users to sign up. For now, it doesn’t appear to be helping. On Thursday, Twitter said its monthly average user base in the April-June quarter grew 5 percent from the previous year to 328 million, but it was unchanged from the previous quarter. Twitter’s stock fell more than 9 percent to $17.75 in pre-market trading Thursday after the numbers came out.
Twitter has never turned a profit. On Thursday, the San Francisco-based company reported a second-quarter loss of $116 million, or 16 cents per share, compared with a loss of $107 million, or 15 cents per share, a year earlier. Revenue declined 5 percent to $574 million from $602 million, inching past Wall Street’s muted expectations. IMPORTANT TWEETS Free speech advocates agree it’s better for Trump to stay. Emma Llanso, director of the Center for Democracy & Technology’s Free Expression Project, said Trump’s tweets are “very clearly politically relevant speech” and are even being cited in court cases challenging the president’s policies. For example, a U.S. appeals court used Trump’s tweets in June to block his travel ban on people from six predominantly Muslim countries. Llanso said it’s understandable why there has been “so much pressure” on social media platforms to crack down on harassment. Long before Trump was elected, users and online safety advocates called on Twitter to do something about abuse on its service.
But when it comes to the president’s outsized presence on Twitter, she’d rather have a private company avoid deciding what should and shouldn’t be allowed. Rather, she said, “we should be looking to the instruments of our democracy as the appropriate place to hold the president accountable.” SURVIVING THE CRACKDOWN Twitter appears to agree. Earlier this month, the company announced that it is now taking some action, including suspensions, on 10 times the number of abusive accounts than it did a year ago (though it did not give a number). Trump, of course, was not in trouble. In June, the president defended his use of social media, tweeting that the mainstream media doesn’t want him to get his “honest and unfiltered message out.” The White House did not immediately respond to a message for comment on Thursday morning. IT WORKS BOTH WAYS Twitter provides a platform for the president to interact with the world directly, without intermediaries such as the news media. But if it’s important for people
to hear directly from Trump, free speech advocates say, it’s also important for Trump to listen— and to allow people to see his messages. His blocking of individual users on the service is the subject of a lawsuit. Comedian Dana Goldberg, who says she has been blocked by the president but is not part of the lawsuit, likened it to him “giving the State of the Union and blocking out the TV sets of people who voted for (Hillary) Clinton.” Her offense? Goldberg, who has about 7,680 followers compared with Trump’s 34.6 million, said it was her tweet calling Trump “a sad man” after he wished Sen. John McCain well following a cancer diagnosis, despite deriding McCain’s war record before. “The fact that I was blocked by the president of the United States, it’s insane,” she said.

Fremont Police Log SUBMITTED BY GENEVA BOSQUES, FREMONT PD Friday, Aug. 11 Three female suspects entered a store in the 43900 block of Pacific Commons Boulevard and attempted to steal more than $660 worth of merchandise. Loss prevention employees attempted to detain one of the suspects, but she bit and punched a loss preventions officer before fleeing in a car. Employees noted the license plate number and shared with police. Newark Police officers located the vehicle parked at a commercial/retail center in Newark. Fremont and Newark officers watched the car until the suspect emerged from the store carrying more stolen items. Police identified the suspect as Priscilla Porras, 34, of San Jose. She was arrested on suspicion of robbery, petty theft and on an active arrest warrant for theft. Case investigated by Officer LaStrape. Saturday, Aug. 12 A caller reported that two men were inside a coffee shop located at Fremont Boulevard and Irvington Avenue smoking and refusing to leave. When the reporting party exited the store, one of the men walked to the window of the business and

Golden Gate Bridge daredevils charged with trespass ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN FRANCISCO (AP), Two would-be daredevils from Wisconsin are now criminal defendants for scaling the Golden Gate Bridge. On Aug. 17 the Marin County district attorney charged 21-year-old Thomas Rector and
18-year-old Peter Kurer with misdemeanor trespassing for climbing the bridge’s north tower earlier this year. The West Bend, Wisconsin, residents were charged after posting their exploits to social media sites. A five-minute clip posted online in May shows them climbing the north tower of the iconic structure. They film themselves doing flips and hanging from cables without safety gear.
They each face a year in jail if convicted. Neither responded to request for comment sent via their Facebook pages. Political protesters, including actor Woody Harrelson, and other thrill seekers have occasionally scaled the Golden Gate Bridge over the years.

inety-one years ago this month was a memorable moment for the development of downtown Hayward. On Saturday, August 21, 1926 the Green Shutter Hotel officially opened for business at the corner of B and Main Streets in the heart of the city. The newly-opened hotel was the brainchild of two brothers, Henry and Herman Eggert. About six years earlier, the two brothers built part of what would become the hotel as retail space on the ground floor and office space above. The building was simply known as the “Eggert Building.”

to the grand opening boasted, “Here also will be found a comfortable lobby, billiard-room, quiet bridge-rooms that will be the scene of many cheerful and informal parties, and a charming garden-court, all of which offer an opportunity for comfortable relaxation.”
saw to the Green Shutter’s grand opening by bringing in an orchestra from Oakland to play in one of the retail spaces for local residents and tourists alike. She was also busy booking multiple rooms that first night. The first guest on the hotel’s books was an “L. Henshaw.”
Advertisements also boasted the fact that every room had cold and hot running water as well as telephones in addition to the imported furniture. The hotel would later feature the first public parking lot in downtown Hayward.
And the hotel wasn’t just a boon for travelers. The hotel’s restaurants and meeting spaces became a natural gathering place. The hotel quickly became the social center of the community. Many local clubs, including the Business and Professional Women, Lions, and Rotary clubs of Hayward made the Green Shutter’s banquet hall their preferred meeting space.
Management of the hotel’s launch fell to the aptly named Alice Greenwood. Greenwood
The hotel also became a mecca for newcomers and newly married couples. Many would spend time at the hotel before settling down in a more permanent home. Local Hayward Historian, John Sandoval and his wife spent almost five years at the hotel. Living at the Green Shutter, he would have been at the center of the action, constantly bumping into Hayward’s movers and shakers and listening to old-timers reminisce about changes they had witnessed in the quickly growing city. The Green Shutter’s place as Hayward’s social center lasted
through the 1950s. After that period, more hotels began springing up and the city’s growth began to shift away from downtown. Through it all, the Green Shutter has remained a fixture of Hayward’s downtown landscape and will continue to be an anchor in historic downtown Hayward. If you are interested in researching local history please visit the Hayward Area Historical Society at 22380 Foothill Boulevard in downtown Hayward. Visit our website haywardareahistory.org or call (510) 581-0223 for more information.

In 1925, encouraged by the automotive tourist traffic they saw flowing into downtown Hayward, Henry and Herman secured building permits to add to the existing building to capture the influx of travelers looking for a place to stop for the night. Just about a year later was the opening of the Green Shutter Hotel. The original layout had 55 rooms and a handful of apartments in addition to ground floor retail space. An invitation

Fremont News Briefs SUBMITTED BY CHERYL GOLDEN Harness the power of clean energy The City of Fremont is proud to be one of nearly 40 local government agencies and major employers participating in the 2017 Bay Area SunShares program, a community program helping local residents access discounted pricing and resources to help them go solar and purchase zero emission vehicles. This is the third year of participation for the City of Fremont as a SunShares outreach partner. Three solar installation companies (PetersenDean, SkyTech Solar, and Solar Technologies) have been selected for the program and are offering discounted pricing to residents, making now the most affordable time to go solar. SunShares is also offering zero-emission vehicle discount options on the 2017 Nissan Leaf and 2017 Toyota Mirai. To sign up, visit www.BayAreaSunShares.org. This limited time offer is available until November 10, 2017. Youth Service Corps Earlier this month, the Fremont Teen Leadership Academy’s Youth Service Corps (YSC) participants completed the summer 2017 program. YSC staff and participants spent a fun and
meaningful summer servicing the community while learning the principles of project management, work ethic, leadership, team work, and character building. YSC is a summer program hosted by the Teen Leadership Academy for teens entering the 7th grade up through 12th grade. It is designed to provide young people with opportunities to gain real life and work experience through civic engagement. YSC consists of two three-week programs running from the last week in June through the first week in August. This year, YSC staff and volunteers accomplished many projects under the direction of the City of Fremont’s Daniela Castro and the supervision of Alvaro Zambrano. Here are some of them: • Weeding and Litter Pick-Up at Stiver’s Entrance: YSC staff and volunteers pulled and discarded weeds between the creek and Aqua Adventure Waterpark, helped clean out trapped litter, and made the parking lot look fresh and clean. • California Nursery Historical Park Cleanup: Over the past six weeks, YSC staff led groups at California Nursery Historical Park to assist in pulling out suckers and deep roots from behind the Nursery office and spreading wood chips along walking paths throughout the park as well as removing weeds
really seen anything else like it,” says Schaaphok. Bands4Bands, besides being a support network for bands making a living with their music, is also intensely committed to giving back to the community it represents. The public is strongly urged to bring canned goods to the food drive happening at the August 26 event. The concert is sponsored by Bands4Bands, Infiniart, Music
adjacent to the President’s Cottage that was completely covered in weeds and bushes 3-4 feet high prior. • Painting the Central Park Emergency Lanes Red: YSC staff led a small group to paint the curbs red throughout Central Park over the course of five weeks. Participants swept the parking lots to prepare for paint, which helped park visitors know where not to park. • Look! for Safety Program: YSC worked with the City of Fremont’s Transportation Engineering Division for the Look! for Safety program. This program helps encourage pedestrians to be more careful and safe while crossing major streets in Fremont. YSC staff led a small group of five to six volunteers to paint “Look!” on major crosswalks throughout the city. • Goose Poop Thursdays: YSC staff and participants picked up goose poop and litter every Thursday around the Central Park Pavilion to prepare for the Summer Concert Series. • Litter Pick-Up in Neighboring Parks: Each Monday, groups visited Irvington, Los Cerritos, and Centerville parks to pick up litter and help Parks Maintenance workers clean up the barbecue areas after the weekend.

Burglary suspects caught in the act SUBMITTED BY SAN LEANDRO POLICE DEPARTMENT During a recent undercover surveillance operation at the San Leandro Marina, a pair of San Leandro police detectives saw two suspects burglarizing a parked vehicle. The suspects broke the window to a parked vehicle, took a bag from the back seat, and then fled the area in their vehicle. The 7 p.m. crime took place in just a matter of seconds. Officers were called and
pursued the suspect’s vehicle into Oakland where they took the suspects into custody after their vehicle became disabled. The stolen items were recovered. These types of crimes are not new to the area. Over the past few months, San Leandro Police have noticed an increase in reported auto burglaries occurring at the San Leandro Marina. These crimes have taken place specifically in the areas in front of the various marina restaurants and hotel. The suspects target these locations due to travelers and business people fre-
quenting the area. In most cases, laptops, backpacks, and purses are stolen after a car window is smashed. In an effort to curb these crimes, the department has increased police patrols and have provided education to both the public and businesses. In addition, detectives have been out conducting proactive surveillance at this location and other areas in town hit hard by property crimes. “The arrests of these two suspects is critical to our message,” said Lt. Isaac Benabou. “We must make a
strong and assertive point that we will not tolerate thieves choosing to commit these crimes in our community. These two individuals may not be solely responsible for all of our burglaries, but it’s a message to other would be thieves.” The case against both suspects, identified as Richmond residents, will go before the Alameda County District Attorney for charging.

JAM makes wishes come true event that will take place at The Saddle Rack in Fremont; attendees will enjoy musically diverse recording artists of the ‘80s, Latin, and today’s sounds. The Bay Area is known for having some of the best DJs in the industry who continue to be industry influencers. They are as passionate about rocking the airwaves and clubs as they are about giving back to the community. Former A & R Director, radio programmer and DJ pioneer, and Beats 4 Hope co-founder Alex Mejia (one of the original KMEL All-Star DJs) described the DJ lineup as “some of the Bay Area’s greatest DJs, the elite of the elite who did not hesitate to step up for the benefit.” The Bay Area’s own Chuy Gomez (Hot 105.7, CMCTV.com) will host the event: international DJ Latin Prince, Mind Motion (HOT 105.7), Billy Vidal (Q102.9), Purple Pam The Funktress (Prince’s DJ), Jose Melendez (HOT 94.9), plus San Jose’s turntablist pioneer DJam Hassan. DJ Bumpin Beto, DJ Matt Marks and Susy C (U-Jam Fitness), percussionist The Conga King, R&B artist Jonn Hart of Priority Records, Latin internet sensation Jenn Morell, and Performing Artist Yvette LaForce will also be part of the event. Experience R&B Latin legend Lisa Lisa’s classics hits such as “Head to Toe,” “Can You Feel the Beat,” “I Wonder If I Take You Home” and many more. Partygoers will dance, eat, drink, bid on live and silent auctions and get up-close with the artists in the Meet & Greet. All funds collected go to charity, possible through the philanthropic spirit of local businesses, DJs, artists and the venue owner. “These DJs have created history and have all gone on to do amazing things in the music industry. They continue to be influencers and are known as
legends. Our event this year was able to corral most of them and this will be the first time they have all been under one roof in decades!” said Beats 4 Hope co-founder Monica Martines. “What’s more amazing is that all our talents are coming out on this holiday weekend for free! They have all donated their time to make a difference and give back to the bay.” The Make-A-Wish Greater Bay Area serves children with life-threatening medical conditions by granting a wish for them and their family. The organization is compelled to be creative and exceed the expectations of every wish. Last year’s Super DJ Benefit was Beats 4 Hope’s first event for Make-A-Wish and raised $40,000. This year, organizers are shooting for $70,000. “The thing that’s beautiful about Make-A-Wish is that they are able to do 400 wishes a year,” said Mejia. “They’re able to give these kids hope.” Thanks to funds raised from last year’s event, Beats 4 Hope
and Bay Area residents were able to help five children. They hope to raise that number to seven or eight kids this year. And because the affiliation is with the Greater Bay Area branch of Make-AWish, it means that funds stay in the Bay, helping kids in the immediate community. “This event is more special than the last because more people are involved, they love helping out their community,” said Mejia. Having a platinum recording artist on the bill is a first, and Mejia mentions new DJ additions Billy Vidal, Chuy Gomez, and Mind Motion, the biggest club DJs in
San Francisco and the Bay Area. He also points out Jonn Hart and his new single “HammerTime,” saying, “The record is blowing up in the clubs, so he is well on his way to being the new ‘it’ in the Bay Area.” Live and silent auctions will be held during the event with items including trips to Cancun, special gifts from Pixar, donations from local business, and tickets from local sport teams. Food will be provided by Mama’s Kitchen at The Saddle Rack, with street tacos, corn dogs, hot dogs, steak salads and more. The first 400 people who buy event tickets will be entered in a raffle for a
chance to win two premier seating tickets for Bruno Mars at Oracle Arena in Oakland on November 3. The JAM is sponsored by Tito’s Handmade Vodka, The Churchward Pub, and The Saddle Rack. “We are going to have an epic event, where people who love music and love to dance can come together for a good cause,” said Mejia. “It’s all about assembling a great team of people who happen to be DJs and artists who want to make a difference by playing music and celebrating life, all to raise funds for the Make-A-Wish of the Greater Bay Area, which is devoted to making a child’s wish come true.” Tickets are $20 in advance available at www.thejambenefit.eventbright.com or www.beats4hope.com. Tickets may also be purchased at the door for $25. This event is for ages 21 and over.

make sure this is a safe event,” Elrod notes. Moreover, “It’s a good moneymaker for the Boy Scouts who handle the parking.” Estimated attendance has topped 50,000 in the past, which is certainly good for the vendors, but crowds and high temperatures mean pets should stay at home. Do bring your appetite, as there will be a variety

Even as a new generation discovers the joy of collecting and treasuring the past, values are constantly fluctuating. Part of what makes antiquing and collecting fun is guessing what the next big trend
BY VICTOR CARVELLAS PHOTOS BY THOMAS HSU The Niles Main Street Association is proud to sponsor the upcoming 53rd annual “Niles Antique Faire.” This community event plays host to thousands of antique aficionados and collectors looking for everything from furniture to jewelry, housewares to vintage tools, artwork to antique auto parts, and much, much more. Early risers can enjoy $5 pancake breakfasts cooked by the Lions Club starting at 4 a.m. next to the Merchants Association train car. They’ll need that energy to seek out the elusive bargain or perfect addition to a collection from hundreds of vendors and family garage sales, since the entire neighborhood east of the main thoroughfare joins in the fun, setting up their own garage sales, tables, refreshment stands, and more. Vendors will be setting up between 2 a.m. and 4:30 a.m. so bring your flashlight if you want a preview. Many families in the area start their own sales on Saturday. Head organizer for the past ten years, Keith Elrod (of Keith’s Collectibles) notes that the event is more than an antique show, it’s a family event. Many similar events, such as that of San Juan Bautista, have been going since the sixties. “There are three or four more in the area of about the same age,” says Elrod. “Somewhere in the past people just thought it would be a good idea to put on community antique shows.” “We work closely with the police and fire departments to
SUBMITTED BY DORSI DIAZ In a blast from the past, and celebrating 50 years since the Summer of Love, Sun Gallery presents “The ‘60s and ‘70s Revisited,” a fun show packed full of art and memorabilia. The show runs until September 30 and features a groovy mix of items straight out of the ‘60s and ‘70s – fashion wear, Levi’s and handmade macramé jewelry by Valeria Caveglia and Laura Mattos, and a Beatles ticket and program display by Hollie Adamic. An album cover wall takes you down memory lane with artists like Curtis Mayfield (of Super Fly fame); Creedence Clearwater Revival; Santana; Tony Orlando and Dawn; Earth, Wind & Fire plus Marvin Gaye, just to name a few.
will be and finding perfect examples that will become valuable in the future. Traditional collectors try to complete or extend collections they already have, while others enjoy the nostalgia of reconnecting with things they knew as kids. Toys and sports memorabilia, for instance, continue to hold their own. Furthermore, as antique dealers retire, the overall content of the antique and collectible market evolves. Not to be left out of the collectors market are new arts and crafts produced by extraordinarily talented local artists and artisans. Additionally, stores and restaurants that regular Niles visitors love will be open. Besides antiques, faire-goers can find jewelry, plants, garden items and more. Whatever you enjoy collecting, it’s almost sure to be found in Niles this weekend.

Artist Betty Isabel Ferguson, at 100 years young and as hep as ever, comes in with three provocative pieces – “Ship of Fools,” “Double Vision,” and the “Bride of Everyman,” assemblage pieces that make one muse and ponder. Hayward’s own poet Laureate Bruce Roberts speaks words of wisdom in two
poem installations: “War – The Poem” and “F.C.I.” Laura Tandeske’s stunning crewel work on Vietnam era military gear is amazingly executed with hundreds of hours poured into each piece in pristine accuracy. Maureen Langenbach’s “20 pounds of Levi’s” assemblage looks like it could have stepped out of a 1970’s bedroom scene. Peter Langenbach’s “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” installation features a flying angel butterfly created by a disco ball, wood, and found materials. Behind Lucy hangs a circa 1970’s painting of the Beatles painted on black velvet.
1960’s and 1970’s items appear throughout the exhibit, including popular books during the era like “All Things Wise and Wonderful” by author James Herriot and a 1969 program from the musical “Hair.” A record player courtesy of artist Sarah Sammis sits close by a lava lamp and a pair of platform shoes. Art packs the walls by other participating artists including Renea Turner, Jeanne Bertolina, Janet Brugos, Christine Bender, Alex Miloradovich, Jilly Huynh, Mike Granger, Dorsi Diaz, Nina Starr, Greg Duggan,
Susan Deming, Maliheh Bartolomeo, and Judith Rodriguez. Select pieces from the Sun Gallery’s permanent collection are also on display during the show including “Mysterious Planet” by Tadeusz Lapinski, circa 1971. The Artists’ Reception for the show will be held Saturday, August 26 and will include live musical performances, appetizers, and beverages. Musicians are also encouraged to bring their instruments for an impromptu (improvised) jam for anyone wishing to join in.
